Gambling911.com contributor Thomas Somach has interviewed an 80-year-old man who has developed a new form of online poker that eliminates the element of chance: Texas Block ‘Em.  And, yes, it will operate from the US to those living in the US.

Arthur M. Pfeiffer, owner and founder of Palo Alto software company Thwart Poker Inc., told The San Francisco Examiner that his venture will be a website called Texas Block ’Em that is expected to debut some time next year.

“I have invented a new form of poker called Texas Block ’Em that removes the element of luck from the game,” Pfeiffer claims. “Since my version of poker is 100 percent skill and involves no luck, it’s not gambling and therefore is legal.”

Is a spade really a spade?  That’s the question Somach asks and you can find the answer and read his entire riveting report in the San Francisco Examiner here.
